I\u2019m starting to learn and mentally catalogue groups of note fingerings. Speed is still a problem, but I know that comes with time. Keeping to the correct notes is becoming second nature, and I\u2019m starting to get a kind of grip on forms I can re-use. The recent lessons you posted, like the 9 day Bach style improv is one of those things, and helps to make sense out of a sort of chaos\u2014when you first start out you think you have to do everything, when in fact.. it seems that just to get one or two things down well is an actual accomplishment. I\u2019m also learning how to record the entries better, so\u2019s not to make people have to listen with difficulty, while not making my early attempts too long, either (in hopes I don\u2019t drive people away!)\n\nI do hope the others continue to send in contest recordings. This is too good of an idea, and I know that there are a lot more people out there far more advanced than I who could really add to this and make it a great teaching tool, where we learn from others.\n\nYou two put in a lot of hard, careful, and considerate work.\n\nCheers,\nRon
